平和的抗議

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On 2 April 2025, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) activists staged a peaceful protest in Moro town, Sindh province, opposing federal plans to construct six new canals on the Indus River. The demonstration reflects local opposition to water infrastructure development in Pakistan's primary river system.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. However, if the federal canal construction plans proceed despite regional opposition, second-order effects could emerge depending on whether protests escalate or expand to other locations along the Indus River system, which supports Pakistan's agricultural sector and industrial water supply.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of protests to other Sindhi cities or provinces affected by the proposed Indus canal network
• Track federal government response and any modifications to the canal construction timeline or scope
